Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #15 - Return

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

According to the show's creator, some broadcasters choose to distort the voices of unfavourable participants in political panel shows to discredit their arguments. Chunk fifteen of Asphyxia begins with a sonic rumination on this legend.

Creepbeat continues to be deployed apace, and a return to the bookshop heralds preparation for the imminent Saatchi Gallery bookfair which has as its theme 'banned books' - a possible ruse to draw dangerous rarities out the woodwork for later destruction, or a scheme to blackmail bookdealers too-versed-in-secrets with the threat of 'cancellation', as they unwittingly platform edgelords and fin de siècle Parisian filth(?).
